Latest Enhancements - September 26, 2017

In this release, we've improved device management and added new security features.

• Take action on multiple devices simultaneously

  Now you can select multiple devices and update or scan them all with a single command. For example, if several devices are at risk, you can multi-select them and then initiate a scan on all of them at once.

  See Performing actions on multiple devices

• Protect applications from exploits

  SEP Cloud protects you from zero-day exploits that take advantage of popular vulnerable applications through a Memory Exploit Mitigation feature. You can now apply Memory Exploit Mitigation (MEM) settings in a security policy.

  See Application protection settings

• Use predefined templates for reports

  To make it faster and easier to generate reports, templates for all predefined reports are now available on the Reports and Templates page.

  See Working with templates

Enhancements to alerts and events

• Support for custom outbreak alerts added

  To ensure that you know about a possible outbreak as soon as possible, you can now create a custom alert rule that is triggered if five or more devices are infected in a specified time frame.

• License capacity alert added

  To ensure that you don't run out of licenses, we've added an alert rule that is triggered when you reach 90% of your user license capacity.

  We've enhanced the enrollment experience so that users can enroll a Windows 10 device as easily as other devices.
